Theory: -
The process of heat transfer by convection is one of the main methods of
heat transfer for fluids as a result of the density difference resulting from
the temperature change. Convection currents arise as the fluid layer in
contact with the hot surface is hotter than the next layer, which leads to a
decrease in its density and rises to be replaced by the layer with a lower
temperature.
